I'm thankful for...
I'm thankful for one of my closest friends, and actually one of the first friends I ever made in high school, Alana! I'm so glad you mistook me for someone named...Claire? I think? Because if it weren't for that, we wouldn't be where we are now. We've been tight since freshmen year, and I'm so glad we finally get to have a class together. I remember on the night of my birthday, where my baby brother was about to be born and I was pretty much swimming in stress with my other brother crying at home and having both my parents out...you were the one who stayed up with me, you Skyped with my brother to cheer him up, and you helped me all along the way. We've fought...and cried...and laughed till we cried, we bonded over music (Soraru...Senka) and our weight and health maintenance. English is always funnier with you around. I'm just so glad that you're my friend. HAPPY THANKSGIVING ♥

Then he is dead?
Macbeth's actions of murder and deceit for the crown, was not worth it in this situation. Did he obtain his goal? Yes, he did...but consider how long those benefits lasted. Right as he became King he made many more enemies trying to overthrow him, and eventually a whole civil war. Not only that, but he became insane with the deeds of murder and power, and his one partner in crime, Lady Macbeth, died. If Macbeth had done everything but murder to obtain the crown, then I think it would have been worth it. I feel like Macbeth's insanity is mainly driven by his guilt of killing the King who he swore to and his best friend. Also, if he didn't murder anyone, Lady Macbeth wouldn't have gone insane either...In general, the burden and guilt that comes with killing someone, taking a life, weighs much much more than lying, deceiving, or manipulating anyone.
